Senate bill comes from 'abortion ban playbook'

To say that Betty Berry's letter (Nov. 8), "Regulate abortion clinics," is deceptive is an understatement. Abortion providers in the state are among the most heavily regulated in the nation. This is a fact. To claim anything else is to deliberately mislead The Patriot-News readers.

It insults my intelligence and the intelligence of Pennsylvanians everywhere to say that bills such as Senate Bill 732 are to "promote the safety of women." Make no mistake, this bill is straight out of the "abortion ban playbook."

Shame on legislators and proponents of 732 for exploiting the tragic story of the victims of Kermit Gosnell's clinic to pursue such a dangerous political agenda.
